He loves television because, "TV taught me how to be funny." While quite the catch, Steve choses to remain single, as creativity completely consumes his passion...

Additional Project Info

I do have somewhat of a path to the musical artist featured in this series. I am aware that the future of the series, in its current form, is contingent upon receiving permission from him. True2U is first-time combination of American Romantic Comedy/Jukebox Musical and Thai Gay (BL) Drama, a genre which originated in Southeast Asia, but has an extremely strong international fan following. The soundtrack by Elton John & Billy Joel, that is currently being used, could easily be replaced with original songs that would be written for the series, should royalty cost prove prohibitive. The series would still be filmed in Bangkok, Thailand... a visually spectacular and exotic location, but would remain in English (using the convention employed in the first scene.) This would widen audience appeal.
